⚠️🇪🇺 Today, the European Commission released the #AutomotivePackage.
The package includes a proposal to revise the CO₂ standards for cars and vans, Europe’s key policy to accelerate EV uptake.
But the plans to weaken the 2035 zero-emission target risk slowing Europe’s #EV momentum.

U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard proposal would mean more vegetable oil imports, high costs, and minimal greenhouse gas reductions - International Council on Clean Transportation
EPA’s 2026/2027 Renewable Fuel Standard proposal would increase biomass-based diesel mandates, driving up consumer costs and delivering little to no climate or energy security benefits.
